Dear [Hiring Manager’s Name],

My name is [Your Name], and I am a construction worker with extensive expertise in constructing, maintaining, and repairing multi-million dollar municipal projects. I found [Target Company’s] job posting for an assistant project manager on Indeed.com and believe I possess the qualifications and skills for the position.

In my 8+ years in the field, I have worked as a manual laborer and construction worker for prestigious companies like Considine & Murphy LLC and Johnson Brothers Construction, where I learned the basics of project management by adhering to company safety protocols, overseeing jobsite records, and earning my journeyman license. I have provided three work accomplishments below that demonstrate my ability:

Operated 30+ kinds of light equipment associated with department projects.
Performed a variety of journey-level construction duties involved in the maintenance of $2 million+ municipal projects, including residential roads, highways, and public parks.
Submitted all jobsite and timesheet records on time and fully compliant with company standards.

I think [Target Company’s] joint effort to renovate and reconstruct derelict buildings in the old financial district is an excellent long-term project to undertake. As a skilled journeyman, I would like to contribute my expertise in the overhauling of this once-thriving urban area.

I am thrilled by the prospect of working with [Target Company] and would like to come in for an interview as soon as possible. Please contact me at [Phone] or via email at [Email] so we can arrange a meeting. Thank you for your time and consideration; I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]

1. Write a Strong Introduction

Your introduction should begin with your contact details and experience. Include what job you are applying for and why you think you’re the best candidate.

2. Be Confident

In your second paragraph, you should elaborate on your experience and sell yourself. For example, the applicant mentions their total years of experience in the field, followed by what they’ve learned in that time. A concise, detailed report of your work experience will give your cover letter a confident tone, which will appeal to a hiring manager.

3. Include a Bullet Point List

Having a bullet point list of your work experience is a good way to emphasize your qualifications. Pick 3 accomplishments from your professional experience section of your resume that are impressive and relevant to the desired position.

4. Research the Company

A good way to show that you’re interested in a company is to research their goals and initiatives. Find out what they’re doing, and explain why or how you can contribute to their efforts.
